Maybe how to live their lives without so much effort perhaps how to use power tools to build and better building materials. Most American cultures are terrible and I don't want that to affect their culture. Besides the way they live the Aborigines are a great tribe of people. |
| Christopher from Australia |
That each person should be to a large degree responsible for themselves. |
| Clayton from USA |
We are not all self centered and unrespectful of others. Some of us yearn for wisdom of the universe and the people and things that inhabit that universe. |

They could use more technology to promote there causes. |
| Dan from USA |
I think they could continue their legacy and culture but also use some more convenient tools. A modern axe or machete can go a long way. |

The truth. We know the plight of the African American people the Native American people and many other races who have migrated to the USA. But when it come to learning about other people and their plights there is so much inconsistency. |
| Eddie from USA |
Modernization could help the Aboriginal people tremendously. Our methods of medicine and modern communication could |

Even though it is good to keep a hold of your ancestral roots keeping up with the current times and technologies can help to make your own life a little simpler. |
| Josh from Australia |
Well I don't think they really need to learn anything we need to learn more from them |

I don't think their is much that the ancient Aborigines could learn from the West for the most part we have ignored their advice and have slowly poisoned our home. |

This will sound weird: Sacrificing part of your own life for the betterment of the group. This is the idea that our western economies work on but it is very productive. It leads to great organization and accomplishments. Especially when the people are united!! |
